  Love your recipes. I made this for Thanksgiving and I am making it today again for nochebuena. Great job!

  This came out amazing! I made some additions because my grandma always added yuca and green bananas to hers. The batter tasted exactly like home. I didn’t add cheese but made a chicken filling, and subbed olive oil for the butter just to make it a little healthier. It was a big hit with the family, both the Dominican and Black side of the family. This is my to go recipe for now on.

  I made this for my family's Thanksgiving dinner last year and got rave reviews so I brought it back again this year! It's been requested for Noche Buena too! Safe to say, it's now my designated holiday dish. I wonder, have you had success making this with the pasteles de yuca batter?

  Hi, Tia Clara. I loved this recipe, super easy to make and delicious. It will be part of our Xmas menu every year! :).

  I made this dish and it was pretty good. Preparation was rather simple. I used a food processor and had to do it in small batches, my processor is old and not the best, but better than grating by hand. I didn’t use any dairy, so no cheese and I used almond milk for the batter. I didn’t buy the plantain leaves, but honestly I didn’t miss it. The dish was very tasty and I will be making it for Christmas again!
